ANN: ICARUS 3.5.3Find unnecessary units in Delphi uses lists
Peganza Software has released version 3.5.3 of ICARUS, a free Windows
program that helps Delphi developers remove
unnecessary units in uses lists. Removing unneeded units from the uses lists
gives many benefits, including the following:
- Unused code is not linked in. The Delphi linker removes unused code, but
code in initialization and finalization sections remains
- Removes dependencies on other units, and makes the intent of your code
clearer
- Smaller executable modules (EXE, DLL, BPL)
ICARUS can also tell which units that can...

Summary: 3.5/3.5.1/3.5.2
Comments:
Scrap this version as it is crap. Add-ons no longer work, including my
Norton security, web pages struggle to load. General loading of Firefox
has been tripled in load time. Takes up to much memory. Some web pages
do not work properly when they had worked before. Its rubbish - I went
back to 3.0.13. That at least works as Firefox should work. Chuck
version 3.5 in the bin and restart from 3.0.13 which is the last version
that works.

Delphi 3 and Refresh problem w/SQL Anywhere 5.5.3I'm using Delphi 3 and experiencing a problem with refreshing. If I
insert a new record using a dbGrid, the record disappears from the
dbGrid after the post. I've duplicated the problem using Database
Desktop. Has anyone experienced the same problem.
Also if I'm inserting a record into a table that has an autoincremental
field, after the post two records show up(a record without a value for
the incremented field and one with a value in the autoincremented
filed).
My work around is to issue a table refresh. (can cause performance
hits)

Converting Delphi 2007 Indy 10.2.3 to Delphi 2009 Indy 10.5.5 [Edit]Hello,
I am currently attempting to port over a Delphi 2007 project that uses Indy 10.2.3 (very successfully) to Delphi 2009 and Indy 10.5.5 (I just got the latest development build this morning). I think I am running into an encoding issue, but am not sure. Specifically, IDHTTP with SSL calls an old CGI and the CGI returns a .zip file and I then save it to the disk. In 2007 and before this worked perfectly. In 2009, it is not. Here is the examples of the 2 different results (though cut way short in the post) I
am getting back:
